Answer:

15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If the walker's speed is W, then the biker's speed is 2.5W. In 2 hours, the walker can travel 2W miles while the biker travels 5W. Since 5W-2W=18, 3W=18 and W=6. So the biker travels at a speed of 15 mph.

Answer:

The speed of the biker is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you call the speed of the walker x, and the speed of the biker 2.5x.

Then you know that speed times time equals distance, so you set up and equation. You do x times 2, which is 2x, and then 2.5x times 2, which is 5x. Then, since the distance between them is 18 miles, the equation would be 5x-2x=18. You would get 3x=18, and x is 6. So 6 is the speed of the walker, and 6 times 2.5 = 15, so the speed of the biker is 15.

A bicyclist rides 12 miles in 132 minutes. If she continues at this speed, how long will it take her to travel 66 miles?
natima [27]
(132 min)/(12 mi) = (t)/(66 mi)
t = (66 mi)*(132 min)/(12 mi) = 726 min

It will take the bicyclist 726 minutes to travel 66 miles.

What is y= -x^2-2x+3 in vertex form
IgorC [24]
           y = -x² - 2x + 3
      y - 3 = -x² - 2x + 3 - 3
      y - 3 = -x² - 2x
 y - 3 - 1 = -x² - 2x - 1
      y - 4 = -(x²) - (2x) - (1)
      y - 4 = -(x² + 2x + 1)
      y - 4 = -(x² + x + x + 1)
      y - 4 = -(x(x) + x(1) + 1(x) + 1(1))
      y - 4 = -(x(x + 1) + 1(x + 1))
      y - 4 = -(x + 1)(x + 1)
      y - 4 = -(x + 1)²
y - 4 + 4 = -(x + 1)² + 4 
           y = -(x + 1)² + 4

Truck -Rite Rentals rents trucks at daily rate of $49.95 plus 39 cents per mile. concert Productions has budgeted $100 for renti
Sergio039 [100]
$100 - $49.95 = $50.05
You have $100, and just renting costs $49.95, leaving $50.05 left.
$50.05 / $0.39 = 128.3

Out of your money left ($50.05) you divide my how much it costs in a day, to get how many miles you can go.

The answer is 128.3, but if you were going a round trip (there and back) you would do 128.3 / 2 = 64.16, meaning you can go 64 miles and come back, all for a hundred dollars (still 128 miles in total though)
